Star Wars: The REAL boxed set
By an Amazon.com customer
Star Wars - Episode I, The Phantom Menace (Widescreen Edition)Star Wars - Episode I, The Phantom Menace (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $4.98
There are a lot of special features on the 2-disc prequel DVDs. Only small downside: some scenes have been added/altered from their original theatrical versions, but unlike the origianl versions, I feel the prequels are better with the additional footage.
Star Wars - Episode II, Attack of the Clones (Widescreen Edition)Star Wars - Episode II, Attack of the Clones (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $2.00
Worst prequel (too talky), but it has the very funny "R2-D2: Beneath the Dome" as a bonus.
Star Wars - Clone Wars, Vol. 1Star Wars - Clone Wars, Vol. 1
Buy used from: $1.97
This is one cool cartoon.
Star Wars - Clone Wars, Vol. 2Star Wars - Clone Wars, Vol. 2
Buy used from: $12.71
Watch both of these DVDs between episodes II and III.
Star Wars - Episode III, Revenge of the Sith (Widescreen Edition)Star Wars - Episode III, Revenge of the Sith (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $2.25
The best prequel with plenty of bonus material.
Star Wars Trilogy (Widescreen Edition with Bonus Disc)Star Wars Trilogy (Widescreen Edition with Bonus Disc)
Buy used from: $17.25
Why tamper with the original trilogy even MORE? My set would have these versions plus the original versions of the 90's special editions (right below), and the actual original versions, that have *finally* been released on DVD.
Star Wars Trilogy (Special Edition) (Widescreen)Star Wars Trilogy (Special Edition) (Widescreen)
Buy used from: $0.89
These are the 1990's "Special Editions".
Star Wars Trilogy DVD with Exclusive Best Buy Tin (original theatrical releases) - WidescreenStar Wars Trilogy DVD with Exclusive Best Buy Tin (original theatrical releases) - Widescreen
Buy used from: $67.95
Yes, I bought these even though they aren't anamorphic, and will probably be released in better quality on Blue-Ray. But I got a cool tin to put them in at Best Buy, too bad you can't get the tin here.
The Hidden Fortress - Criterion CollectionThe Hidden Fortress - Criterion Collection
Buy new: $21.49 / Used from: $8.99
Obviously one of George Lucas' inspirations for A New Hope, this is a great, entertaining film by legendary Japenese director Akira Kurosawa.
The Star Wars Holiday SpecialThe Star Wars Holiday Special
I've heard this is really crappy but it would make a cool special feature on a bonus DVD.
Star Wars Ewok Adventures - Caravan of Courage (aka The Ewok Adventure) / The Battle for EndorStar Wars Ewok Adventures - Caravan of Courage (aka The Ewok Adventure) / The Battle for Endor

Cute cartoon for kids.
Star Wars Animated Adventures - Droids (The Pirates and the Prince / Treasures of the Hidden Planet)Star Wars Animated Adventures - Droids (The Pirates and the Prince / Treasures of the Hidden Planet)
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $4.38
For kids, but good bonus material for a box set.
The Story of Star WarsThe Story of Star Wars
Buy used from: $0.56
I belive this was a Wal-Mart exclusive that came with The Revenge of the Sith DVD. A extended version is available for the Video Now player.
The Stars of Star Wars - Interviews from the CastThe Stars of Star Wars - Interviews from the Cast
Buy used from: $2.89
Include this with some other documentaries, movie reviews, & a retrospect along with some DVDs of vintage & new Star Wars commercials.
Star Wars vs. Star Trek: The Rivalry ContinuesStar Wars vs. Star Trek: The Rivalry Continues
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $3.64
One of many great documentaries, a true boxed set needs a ton of them.
Star WaitStar Wait
Buy used from: $1.18
A documentary on waiting in line. Another example of a unique Star Wars doc.
Hardware Wars - The Original EditionHardware Wars - The Original Edition
Buy used from: $11.45
The original spoof. There are just too many great spoofs to put on one list.
George Lucas in LoveGeorge Lucas in Love
Buy used from: $6.21
These are just some more well-know spoofs.
Thumb Wars - The Phantom CuticleThumb Wars - The Phantom Cuticle
Buy used from: $8.70
You can find some of these in your local DVD outlet, but there are other great spoofs you can only find on Amazon or online video sites.
Spaceballs (Collector's Edition)Spaceballs (Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $1.00
This is a great spoof on all kinds of sci-fi movies. For an amazing boxed set, there should be spoofs such as the three above, but a collection of ones from online sites. Atom Films has a Star Wars fan film contest, and those films would be great on a DVD set.
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace - Original Motion Picture SoundtrackStar Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $0.75
Include all the soundtracks plus a bonus DVD-ROM with each one that has the episode's script. Episode I is most notable for "Duel of the Fates" one of the best pieces of Star Wars music.

Star Wars TrilogyStar Wars Trilogy by John Williams

A nice boxed set of the original soundtracks. The episode IV and V soundtracks are two of the greatest soundtracks ever, and the episode VI soundtrack is great also.

Sweet limited edition of the Star Wars Episode I soundtrack.
The PlanetsThe Planets

It would be great to include this with a bonus DVD with John Williams talking about what music inspired him to write the music for Star Wars.
Running with ScissorsRunning with Scissors by "Weird Al" Yankovic

Maybe this is going a bit overboard, but "The Saga Begins" is too funny not to own.

This DVD has the music video for "The Saga Begins".
THX 1138 - The Director's Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition)THX 1138 - The Director's Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $20.49 / Used from: $3.10
Just for the heck of it, include the original version with this (Lucas added some material that wasn't in the theatrical release for this Director's Cut) and a DVD showing where all the references are in the Star Wars movies & how it affected Star Wars.
